Painting the Master Bedroom

A number of years ago I convinced my husband that we needed a green feature wall in our bedroom. In fact we painted two. I can't live with it any longer, so I've repainted our bedroom.

Here is the before. A green feature wall behind our bed.

Originally we had an ensemble bed with a lilac headboard that matched the old lilac curtains.

At the other end of the room, we have a parent's retreat area and I had painted the end wall green too. (What was I thinking?)

Our whole house is painted Taubman's Arizona White which is a slightly pink/caramel white. It works well with the Paperbark aluminum windows. I repainted all the skirting boards and door/window trims in Arizona White to freshen them up. After weeks of indecision, I finally decided to paint the walls in Arizona White quarter strength.

You can see how much lighter and brighter the quarter strength is.

So all the walls are freshly painted.

I think my grandmother's secretaire looks so pretty against the pale walls.

and as for the wall behind the bed ... I couldn't help myself, I painted it Taubman's Athena. I thought a pale wall would look wrong behind the slate upholstered bed.
